Patyatann is a cosmopolitan music band from Mauritius. It comprises four young and versatile musicians, all authors, composers and singers. The group was formed in 2012 and was subsequently selected to represent Mauritius at the World Event Young Artists in England, a festival organized in the wake of the Olympics. In 2013, the band performed at the Indian Ocean’s Music Market (IOMMA) in Reunion Island and was also the first Mauritian band to come 3rd in a contest for the award of the Prix Musiques de l’Océan Indien. It was acclaimed for its “originality” and “freshness”.

It brings together, both in its music and songs, elements of eastern (including African and Indian) and western influences, which are part and parcel of the Mauritian identity and which also resonate in other parts of an increasingly multicultural world.
